Here is my reaction to "The Others" WOW WOW WOW This was a TRIP!!! I tried not to psyche myself out so much, but couldn't help it!  Watching this back I'm laughing at myself because apparently my limbs lose all control when scared and I jump out of my face! I love Nicole Kidman, she was amazing, I refuse to accept the ending, it is haunting me. I never saw it coming and I can't believe it, I think she loved them. 

Did you see the ending coming when you first saw it?

When I first saw this, I copped the servants were ghosts pretty quickly (all but confirmed when Bertha said "it feels like we've never left this house") but I had no inkling about the main twist. An old house shrouded in fog will never not be creepy, and isolation is always a great theme for horror, as we saw last time out:) And you're right about Nicole Kidman, she is terrific.

Later on, I was suspicious, but I did not give it much consideration because it did not make much sense to me for them to be sleeping while dead.

I thought about that after too as well, but maybe they were just because the mother was so obsessed about being in denial, they had to have their routine kept so specifically!

Where did you watch this? I could not find it anywhere online!

The thing I love about this movie, and it's one of my favorite horror films of all time, is that at the end, it actually makes ghosts *less* scary, because if they don't realize they're dead, they quite literally are more afraid of you than you are of them. It humanizes an otherwise creepy as hell monster in the best way. And really, if you think about this movie from Victor and his family's perspective, it works just as well, if not better, as a horror movie. Like, you move to this house, and the curtains constantly close on their own, you see two strange kids in the bed when you're trying to sleep, the piano shuts on its own, the sheets covering the furniture get ripped off, and then you find out what actually happened. But the funniest thing is, the ghosts are just as terrified, and kind of just want to mind their own business. And at the end, they get to be together with no fear about anything, ever again. Such an exquisite combination and I knew I had to subscribe just to see your reaction to this masterpiece. I am not disappointed.

Never seen this before, just watched you're YouTube reaction. Personally, they could have made it so she killed her children out of mercy? Instead of because she had a breakdown? Would have made her more sympathetic. Mike the editor: well done, sir, well done.

I think the breakdown was related to her husband being killed in the war. Remember the housekeeper said something about people doing strange things out of grief? And she looked at her intently when she said it.

Eating, sleeping, all done as ghosts. But I think it was all without substance. They were going through the motions.

I have never in my life seen a bigger scaredy cat. That isn't even that scary of a movie. There are maybe 4 or 5 jump scares and it has creepy music, but that's about it. I don't even think it's considered horror. I think it's a thriller. You should watch these movies with your kids. Maybe then, you'll stiffen your spine a little and not psyche yourself out so completely.

Popcorn In Bed

haha i know! i can’t help it 🤷🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️ and i googled it, technically thriller/horror ;)

Catherine LW

Not everyone reacts in the same way to movies. Maybe you should get out and learn how people are not the same, programmed like robots. How rude.

Marina

I think she was still reacting to the Shining. Lol.

You can’t let October pass without checking out The Crow.

This film has such a great twist, and its so fun to watch the second time around once you know said twist and can picture all the events from the intruders' POV. Love this one.
